No new bleed screws? They look great otherwise.

So, the bleeders......









HAHA...just kidding.

The lower steel tube that connects the calipers - can you request them to disassemble that so it's not coated too?

Looks liek they did a good job, I just hate black because you cant see them once they are on the car. My friend just spent over a grand on a brembo kit for his 03 and they came in black, you cant even tell he has them.

So are those essentially one-man bleeders? Just hook up the drain line and jar, unscrew, pump the brakes and voila?

They're stealthy, so people can't see them to want to steal them

They are on a silver background(rotor), they will be seen enough to draw attention to the script written on it...aahhhhh CADILLAC, when did they start to make cadillacs like that?

lol, maybe not but it will look sweet on my blacked out V.
